In its first quarterly report since disclosing a systems breach that exposed personal information of more than 145 million Americans, Equifax reported $87.5 million in initial expenses dealing with the incident, while recording $96.3 million in profits for the third quarter.

Equifax reported to the public on Sept. 7 a breach that had taken place months earlier, and which it learned about on July 29. The company’s delayed disclosure triggered both probes by state investigators as well as lawsuits nationally seeking class-action status, with investors and consumer incensed by investment gains and golden parachutes for executives in the days and weeks after Equifax discovered the hack.

Last week, Equifax released the results of an internal probe of trading by four executives, stating its review of some 55,000 documents found no evidence of illegal trading based on inside information of the breach.

Equifax continues to offer free credit monitoring and other services to U.S. consumers, via an online web portal at www.equifaxsecurity2017.com or its call center at 1-866-447-7559.

Atlanta-based Equifax reported a 3 percent drop in its U.S. revenue in the third quarter to $308 million, but was able to make up the difference and then some from its international services, resulting in an overall 4 percent increase in revenue to $835 million.

Equifax spent nearly $15 million on customer support after disclosing the breach in early September through month end, with the company estimating its total cost to provide free credit monitoring and identity theft protection will cost it as much as $110 million more.

Equifax executives testified Wednesday to a U.S. Senate committee on the breach, with acting CEO Paulino do Rego Barros Jr. stating he did not know whether the his company is encrypting data in its information vaults that house consumer credit information, while emphasizing the company uses multiple techniques besides encryption to guard against hackers.

Several senators pounced on the testimony of Barros, including U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn.

“The Equifax breach in particular exposed the limits of the Federal Trade Commission’s ability to protect (consumers) and impose penalties on companies that treat our data with negligence and recklessness,” Blumenthal said during the Wednesday hearing. “The real deterrence will come when those penalties are imposed on executives.”
